Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) is a treatment plateau in each personís healing
process. It can mean that the patient has fully recovered from the injury or that
the patientís medical condition has stabilized to the point that no major medical
or emotional change can be expected in the injured workersí condition. This occurs
despite continuing medical treatment or rehabilitative programs the injured worker
partakes in.

What will happen to my claim when my physician states that I am MMI?
According to ORC 4123.56(A), when your physician states that you are MMI and can
return to work, your temporary total compensation benefits may be terminated.

Your medical condition must be documented by a licensed physician and the report
sent to your Customer Service Specialist(CSS). Your MCO will notify your CSS when
there is reason to believe that you have reached MMI. As a result of reaching
MMI, the injured worker may be eligible for other types of partial or permanent
compensation. You will need to talk with your assigned CSS to discuss what other
options are available to you.
